— Aesop

Reflection 🤔

"Your courage is only tested when you have skin in the game."

Your courage is only tested when you have skin in the game.

If you're watching others and thinking things like "I could do that so much better" or "wow, they're so lame" — it's because you're sitting too far away from the action.

You're a spectator, and they're the athlete. Your opinion is literally useless until you're in the action too.

Action ✅

Get in your own game today. That is what takes true courage.
